Adopted by Niall Horan

Chapter 3

A/N- So not really getting that big of a reaction on this book but I understand cause it's still early on and not the best, so what I said about updating once I get votes and stuff is kind of just gonna go out the window. I'll just update whenever I feel like it, which will be very often I promise. Thank you so so much to the few people who have read it though!! And I hope you've liked it!

Niall's P.O.V
The boys and I slowly made our way up the steps of Mrs. Sally's orphanage. I brought them along for advice and support, I mean they are gonna be spending a lot of time with her as well.

"The place looks so sad and run-down, I can't imagine people, let alone children, actually living here. It's so sad." said Louis. We all agreed. I walked up to the front desk and saw a sweet looking lady in her mid-fifties sitting at a desk.

"Excuse me ma'am, I would like to adopt a little girl today."

She looked up at me with kind eyes and smiled. "Do you have a specific age you would like to adopt?" She asked.

"No, age doesn't matter, I'll know when I meet her if she's the one for me." I said.

She smiled and pressed a button on a speaker and said,"Would all children come to the main room." She then stood up and said,"Follow me, all of the girls should be down here by now, when you've found the one come let me know." and with a kind smile she walked over to the corner to work on some paperwork.

Once we walked in the room, all of the girls swarmed toward us, all screaming at us. Through all the commotion I was scanning the crowd for the special girl. I didn't see anyone who stuck out to me, until I looked over to the old rickety steps and I saw a little girl, no older than 4, sitting there crying. I slowly broke away from the group to go check on her, it was as if some special force was drawing me to her. She was the one.

I walked up to her and she coward back even more, so I squatted down to her height and said,"Shhh, it's okay. There's no need to cry. Hi, I'm Niall. What's your name sweetie?"

She peeked up through her arms and whispered, "Emma." I couldn't help but smile at how adorable she was.

"That's a really pretty name." I said,trying to get her to open up, and I couldn't help but notice a small red tint appear on her cheeks as she whispered back, "Thank you."

"Why are you up here and not down there with all the other girls?" I question.

"Because Amy pushed me. It isn't like anybody would want me, I'm just a small girl who nobody likes." she says as tears start to fall.

"Well that wasn't very nice, and that's not true. I've only known you for 5 minutes and I already like you." I said as I saw her smile and let out the cutest giggle ever.
"There's a smile. You have such an adorable laugh. How would you like to be adopted by me?" I asked.

She gasped and said,"Really?!?!"

I nodded my head and she threw herself in my arms. I gently picked her up and put her on my hip, she was really light, and made my way carefully down the stairs.
I looked up and saw Harry, Louis, and Liam being swarmed by all the girls.

I felt Emma cower back into me for some reason, so I started to rub her back in an attempt to calm her down.
I cleared my throat, which caused all the boys to look at me.

"Lads, I think I've found the one." I said proudly.

The boys looked at me and smiled. Mrs. Sally then told all of the other girls to go back to their rooms. As they passed me and Emma, I saw one girl give Emma a glare and call her a "bitch" as she walked by. Emma just put her head down when she heard that so I hugged her tighter and gave the girl a mean look which made her turn her head and keep walking.

I followed Mrs. Sally into the office and heard Emma giggling, which caused me to smile. As I was signing the adoption papers, Mrs. Sally took Emma out of my arms and started talking to her. I saw Emma give her a hug and I gave her the papers as she handed Emma back to me.

She told me I could go get Emma's stuff. Emma grabbed my hand and I couldn't help but chuckle at how small her hand was compared to mine. She pulled me up to what I'm guessing was her room. She ran over to her small, old bed and picked up a teddy bear. I went and got her little backpack down for her. All she had was two pairs of leggings, two long shirts, and a few pairs of underwear. "We definitely need to go shopping." I mumbled.

I put her backpack on my shoulder and picked her up with my other arm, and walked out of my room. When we got at the bottom of the stairs I saw the other boys standing by the door waiting for us. Emma waved bye to Mrs. Sally and we headed out side to my Range Rover. Emma was sitting in my lap because she was to small to sit in a normal seat and we didn't have a car seat for her.
Once she realized that all the boys were looking at her she turned and hid her face in my chest. I started rubbing her back, then I looked at the other boys and said, "Lads, meet Emma, my princess."
